Metabolism

What is the primary purpose of extracting energy from food in cells?

• To store it for future use

• To fuel cellular processes

• To convert it into waste

• To create new cells

How do cells use the energy extracted from food?

• To eliminate toxins

• To produce more food

• To increase body temperature

• To power all cellular processes

Which of the following best describes the role of metabolic pathways in different species?

• They are unique to each species

• They vary significantly between species

• They are mostly similar across species

• They are only found in complex organisms

What is a common feature of metabolic pathways in various organisms?

• They share many similarities

• They are only present in mammals

• They are identical in all aspects

• They are completely different

Why is it important for metabolic pathways to be similar across different species?

• It allows for easier adaptation to environments

• It ensures that all species have the same diet

• It facilitates the study of biology across species

• It prevents species from evolving
